I hear the white steed and the fish together in dark obscurity. I look at the body, the children weeping to gain control. I listen for the perishing wind and declare to it a vigil of telltale strength. The journey here faces the drive of instinct — to buckle in and walk the safest hallway or to carry the weight of failure and still harbour a cry to the fox and a belief in the many shapes of heaven.

The journey knows its evening has come and all the beautiful clouds will drop one by one from the sky.
